Maison Alhambra
Berlinetta
Berlinetta follows Bibliothèque's peach-and-plum opening, violet-and-peony heart and sweet leather base. Patchouli, musk and vanilla also connect the finishes. The similar note structure makes it a possible alternative, but doesn't establish a meaningful opening or drydown difference on its own.
